They're still too widely used among middle aged men. Give it another 20 years..!

@Goodoccasionallypoor , 55 yrs. I like the name, but it's too closely linked to one person. There were 3 Enocs registered in England & Wales in 2020, so presumably some Welsh speakers think it's OK. Strange that there should be only 3 in the time covered by darkgreeener and the 3 born in the same year. I'm picturing a reception class before long with the 3 Enocs in it.

Enoc (ENN-ock) is the Welsh spelling and I don't think it's used anywhere else.

Timothy and Jeremy fit the biblical trend, and are probably not much used now.

My youngest is Eben, Ive only heard of one other in fact that's where we heard of the name! His middle name is Jago, which seems to be gaining popularity recently.

I like Auryn too

We nearly called our DS Marlowe, but decided to make it a middle name instead. Archer is a potential middle name for the second but actually I quite like it as a first name!

A friend recently named their son Torin which I thought was lovely. Bit different but not too out there.
